a
Paralogous groups were formed from gene groups that had BLASTP hits to each other with e-values less than 10−6 and an alignment length of at least 60% of the deduced amino acid sequence. If the alignment length was not at least 60%, other parameters were taken into consideration with respect to the occurrence of fragmented genes (9).
